G         Am   C    F          
  Here we are,      curled in the dark, 
G      Am       C   F 
  Like newborns,    then like logs.  
G           Am       C    F 
  You are a starfish,     with your leg off the bed, 
G             Am      C   F  
  Then like a soldier,    up at attention. 


D                        G 
  The fear in the night, make it safe make it alright. 
D                       G                            
  The riot in the mind, make it safe make it alright,

  Make it alright.

G         Am       C     F          
  On your birthday,    I showed you pics of the outside, 
G            Am     C         F 
  You didn't notice,   but it passed the time.  
G       Am    C    F 
  Saint David,     up on the lake ridge, 
G        Am       C             F  
  A dove muttering,    into the mouth of Saint Gray. 


D                           G 
  Straighten the boy's leg, make it safe make it alright. 
D                            G                            
  Crying girl on the toilet, make her safe make her alright, 
A              G                      A 
  Alright,          make her alright,

verse 3 

G   Am                  C    F          
       I can't talk now,     spring is all over us, 
G   Am             C   F 
    Come on spring,    come and unfold us.  
G        Am          C                 F 
  A whale moves away,     from where a wave unstuck it, 
G          Am      C                      F  
  And rain gathers,    at the bottom of a champagne bucket. 


D                                  G 
  Where your brother betrayed you, make it safe make it alright. 
D                                     G                            
  I wanna take you back to that room, make it safe make it alright, 
A                       G 
  Alright. 


verse 4

  Here we are,      curled in the dark,

  The last two spoons,      left in the drawer.  
G            Am          C         F 
  How do you fall asleep,     with such speed? 
G         Am        C                          F  
  You say goodnight,     then you're twitching into a dream. 


D                        G 
  The fear in the night, make it safe make it alright. 
D                       G                            
  The riot in the mind, make it safe make it alright, 
A                       G 
  Make it alright,         make it alright, 
A               G
